Title textGotta feel kind of bad for nation-state hackers who spend years implanting and cultivating some hardware exploit, only to discover the entire target database is already exposed to anyone with a web browser.

so, I had a pendrive that a friend borrowed once. later on another friend used it and said it had virus. I simply couldn’t know since I was on GNU/Linux.

though later on I cleaned it with dd.

valkyre09,

I work service desk. This right here is the reason I tell Mac users they need to keep the AV on.

Why do I relate to this so much despite only barely knowing what Manjaro is….? Hmm…

Holy shit, I watched that video a week ago. So sad :'(

Time to post on lemmy

Samsy,

I was busy and it was in production. Backup was my friend.

jol,

I wonder. Lemmy is be definition much less future proof that r&ebbit. Information posted on Lemmy will not last long, as instances come and go. The price we pay for decentralisation and freedom.

newbeni, in Linux servers

I have this shirt…lol

Hey man I’m just a certless dummy that wants access to aur that installs on my computer. If y’all wanna trouble shoot why endeavor doesn’t work that’s on your time.

erev,
@erev@lemmy.world avatar

what was the error

blindbunny,

Haha it just wouldn’t boot from the flash drive. I think it has something to do with the motherboard drivers because Manjaro has a fancy ROG/Manjaro boot screen but I don’t actually expect anyone to fix it for me. My set up is very music production based and most everything works with Manjaro but even I know they have a reputation.Thanks for the question though.

I was having problems with the newer endeavour ISOs just not booting as well. Installed Ventoy on my flash drive and it works like a dream now. Also now I can have multiple ISOs on the same drive and choose which I want which makes it an amazing tool to just have in a backpack or whatever.

blindbunny,

Huh I’ve never heard of ventoy I might check that out, thanks for sharing.

The first desktop version, Mac OS X 10.0, was released on March 24, 2001. Mac OS X 10.5 Leopard, Mac OS X 10.6 Snow Leopard and all releases from OS X 10.8 Mountain Lion to macOS 14 Sonoma are UNIX 03 certified

I don’t like MacOS, but it’s actually able to be called UNIX.

misophist,

I’m surprised you don’t lose Unix certification with crap like case insensitive filesystem defaults.

aidan,

I don’t want to be like Stack Overflow, but tbh you have some design problems if you rely on case sensitive filesystems.

QuaternionsRock,

I haven’t heard this before, what are they?

aidan,

Most importantly readability and usability for the user and debugging. Some programs aren’t case sensitive.

QuaternionsRock,

That last point is somewhat amusing considering you have to go out of your way to make your program case-insensitive.

thehatfox,
@thehatfox@lemmy.world avatar

Both HFS Plus and APFS can have case sensitivity enabled, it’s optional.

Enabling it has had a tendency to break third party Mac software though. Adobe used to be a particularly bad offender there.

And Steam.

@AnUnusualRelic@lemmy.world avatar

Being able to be called Unix just means paying for certification. No more, no less.

mac,
@mac@infosec.pub avatar

Well you still have to check all the boxes, you pay for the license the same way you can study and take certain exams but have to pay for the certificate.

mvirts, in Wine being great

Honest question: does Crossover actually increases compatibility over raw Wine or PlayOnLinux?

asingularity,

I would like to know this as well.

@MataVatnik@lemmy.world avatar

Eh, as long as you don’t update it its extremely stable. And it’s a UNIX system so you can still do shenanigans if you’re still inclined.

RmDebArc_5,
@RmDebArc_5@lemmy.ml avatar

That is an interesting sentence: as long as you don’t update it’s extremely stable

But this is more about macOS having no package manager (officially), telemetry and such

MataVatnik,
@MataVatnik@lemmy.world avatar

I know, and trust me, I hate Apple for essentially breaking my computer after an update. But I had my MacBook for 6 years now, use it daily, and have no hiccups other wise.

Yeah, back when I was playing around with terminal not having a package manager was a huge pain in the ass.

Octopus1348,

Do you know about Brew?

MataVatnik,
@MataVatnik@lemmy.world avatar

At the time I couldn’t get it to work. It’s been years though

BURN,

I still don’t get the love for package managers.

As a windows and Mac user who has tried to use Linux multiple times I can’t stand the centralized managers. They never have what I need and then it ends up out of date and not working.

Is there some hidden benefit I’m missing? Because sourcing from the developer seems like the much better way to do it like Mac and Windows.

CapeWearingAeroplane,

Easy: Nothing beats the simplicity of brew install whatever or apt install whatever, and then having whatever just work, in my experience, pretty much every single time.

BURN,

I’ve not had that experience. I’ve had to go hunting down package names on google before I can install it using the package manager, when instead I could have just downloaded it from their website.

Apt, brew and whatever Arch has have all had the same problems for me. They almost never work out of the box and they’re a major reason I don’t like using Linux on desktop.

Pok,

Click download on the webpage Drag downloaded app to wherever you want to store it Open app

It’s just a matter of what you’re used to.

lud,

Packet managers are quicker to use. They also keep everything up to date.

BURN,

Personally I find them slower and less convenient. Like they said, it’s easier to do what you’re used to.

RmDebArc_5,
@RmDebArc_5@lemmy.ml avatar

1.Security 2.Up to date depends on distro, rolling releases have more up to date software 3. Convenience: just open the app center and click install

BURN,

Security: if they leave checksums on their website I don’t see how it’s any more secure

Up to date: I definitely haven’t had this experience. Multiple times on arch I had issues where an outdated repo caused an app to not be able to boot

Convenience: That’s subjective. I’ve never really seen much convenience from an all in one solution for anything. I find it more of a hassle to find the distro specific manager that has a terrible UI rather than just downloading directly off a web page

I'm paying the tech debt of not switching sooner.
